. Yi! The ole of Our Schools in Gontemporary W orld Events E, OF the Germantown area, have a magnificent heritage which many of us do not fully appreciate. Here, where we walk in our everyday pursuits of life, such famous families as the Morrises, Chews, and Wisters went about their daily occupations. Gallant men once fought and died on these very grounds to win the same rights and privileges which their descendants were to be called to defend so often during the ensuing years. Once more, in 1942, we find that the ideals which we hold sacred are imperiled. Gradually, but steadily the war came closer to our shores, until, on that fateful day of December 7, 1941, the attack on Pearl Harbor plunged America immediately into active participation in the war. The war has necessitated drastic changes at Germantown. Our CLASS Raeoan B0oK underwent severe curtailment due to the shortage of copper for the reproduc- tion of photographs. Red Cross classes have been organized in the school. A group of air-raid wardens meets weekly to decide upon the best procedure in event of an air raid. Menibers of both the student body and faculty have gone into the service. Others have taken jobs in the tremendous arsenal of democracy, producing the sinews of war. We have organized a campaign for the conservation of waste paper and metals. Our shops are constantly in use training workers to take their places in factories producing vital war materials. At present we have sold 818,874.56 worth of Defense Stamps and Bonds at our booth in the front hall. During World War I, Germantown High School led the schools of the country with 352,300,000 in Liberty Loan subscriptions. These facts bear testimony: Germantown is once more doing her share for the preservation of our American way of life. May we, the Class of June, 1942 realize the significance of this heritage and the obligation which it involves. May we per- petuate the honor and prestige which our predecessors have so firmly established. 18
